CIDCO NODES TO GET NEW UR­BAN HEALTH POSTS

CBD BELAPUR: Kharghar, New Pan­vel, Kamothe, Kalam­boli and Ulwe will soon have ur­ban health posts (UHP). The cen­tres will be run by Cidco’s health depart­ment. The UHPs will of­fer ser­vices of pre-natal care, mother and child health ser­vice, malaria and mi­nor treat­ment. Since there are no gov­ern­ment hos­pi­tals in the area, res­i­dents have to go to Pan­vel or NMMC hos­pi­tals or DY Patil hospital in Nerul. A Cidco health depart­ment of­fi­cial said: “The plan is to per­form bhoomipu­jan in April and then com­plete work in six months. The ten­der process for con­struc­tion has been com­pleted. Five con­trac­tors have been se­lected for the five projects.” Cidco will get cen­tral gov­ern­ment grant for the project.
